TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to 5-substituted indazole containing compounds, methods of making the compounds, compositions containing the compounds which are useful for inhibiting kinases such as Glycogen Synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3), Rho kinase (ROCK), Janus Kinases (JAK), Cdc7, AKT, PAK4, PLK, CK2, KDR, MK2, JNK1, aurora, pim 1 and nek 2.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Protein kinases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to a tyrosine, serine, threonine, or histidine residue located on a protein substrate. Protein kinases clearly play a role in normal cell growth. Many of the growth factor receptor proteins have intracellular domains that function as protein kinases and it is through this function that they effect signaling. The interaction of growth factors with their receptors is a necessary event in the normal regulation of cell growth, and the phosphorylation state of substrate proteins often is related to the modulation of cell growth.

It is widely known that abnormal protein phosphorylation may be directly linked to certain disease states or may be a contributing factor in the onset of such diseases. As a result, protein kinases have become the targets of new pharmaceutical research (Cohen, P. Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, 1:309-315, 2002). Various protein kinase inhibitors have been used clinically in the treatment of a wide variety of diseases, such as cancer, chronic inflammatory diseases, diabetes and stroke.

The protein kinases are a large and diverse family of enzymes that catalyze protein phosphorylation and play a key role in cellular signaling. Protein kinases may exert positive or negative regulatory effects, depending upon their target protein. Protein kinases are involved in specific signaling pathways which regulate cell functions such as, but not limited to, metabolism, cell cycle progression, cell adhesion, vascular function, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. As a result, malfunctions of cellular signaling have been associated with many diseases, the most characterized of which include cancer and diabetes. The regulation of signal transduction by cytokines and the association of signal molecules with proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes have been well documented. Similarly, the connection between diabetes, viral infections and the conditions related thereto has also been associated with the regulation of protein kinases.

Because protein kinases regulate nearly every cellular process, including metabolism, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and cell survival, they are attractive targets for therapeutic intervention for various disease states. For example, cell-cycle control and angiogenesis, in which protein kinases play a pivotal role are cellular processes associated with numerous disease conditions such as, but not limited to, cancer, inflammatory diseases, abnormal angiogenesis and diseases related thereto, atherosclerosis, macular degeneration, diabetes, obesity, and pain.

The elucidation of the intricacy of protein kinase pathways and the complexity of the relationship and interaction among and between the various protein kinases and kinase pathways highlights the importance of developing pharmaceutical agents capable of acting as protein kinase modulators, regulators or inhibitors that have beneficial activity on multiple kinases or multiple kinase pathways.

It has therefore been suggested that due to the complexity of intracellular signaling cascades of protein kinase pathways, agents that affect multiple pathways simultaneously may be required for meaningful clinical activity. Although it has been suggested that a single agent that provides combinatorial effects is an attractive notion, there is a need to identify and use single agents that target the right combination of multiple pathways that are clinically effective in a particular disease setting.

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a serine/threonine kinase encoded by two isoforms, GSK-3α and GSK-3β with molecular weights of 51 and 47 kDa, respectively. These share 97% sequence similarity in their kinase catalytic domains. The GSK-3α isoform has an extended glycine-rich N-terminal tail. A minor splice variant of GSK-3β has been identified (expressed at ˜15% of total) with a 13 amino acid insert within the kinase domain. This variant had a reduced activity towards tau. GSK-3 is highly conserved throughout evolution, and found in all mammals thus far with high homology in the kinase domain. Both isoforms are ubiquitously expressed in mammalian tissues, including the brain. Pharmacological GSK-3 inhibitors are not able to selectively inhibit one of the isoforms.

GSK-3β plays an important role in the control of metabolism, differentiation and survival. It was initially identified as an enzyme able to phosphorylate and hence inhibit glycogen synthase. Subsequently, it was recognized that GSK-3β was identical to tau protein kinase 1 (TPK1), an enzyme that phosphorylates tau protein in epitopes that are also found to be hyperphosphorylated in Alzheimer's disease and in several taupathies.

Interestingly, protein kinase B (AKT) phosphorylation of GSK-3β results in a loss of kinase activity, and it has been proposed that this inhibition may mediate some of the effects of neurotrophic factors. Moreover, phosphorylation of β-catenin (a protein involved in cell survival) by GSK-3β, results in its degradation by an ubiquitinilation dependent proteasome pathway.

Therefore it appears that inhibition of GSK-3β activity may result in neurotrophic activity. There is evidence that lithium, an uncompetitive inhibitor of GSK-3β, enhances neuritogenesis in some models and can also increase neuronal survival, through the induction of survival factors such as Bcl-2 and the inhibition of the expression of proapoptotic factors such as P53 and Bax.

Further studies have shown that β-amyloid increases GSK-3β activity and tau protein phosphorylation. Moreover, this hyperphosphorylation as well as the neurotoxic effects of β-amyloid are blocked by lithium chloride and by a GSK-3β antisense mRNA. These observations taken together suggest that GSK-3β may be the link between the two major pathological processes in Alzheimer's disease: abnormal APP (Amyloid Precursor Protein) processing and tau protein hyperphosphorylation.

These experimental observations indicate that GSK-3β may find application in the prevention and treatment of the neuropathological consequences and the cognitive and attention deficits associated with Alzheimer's disease, as well as other acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases. These include, but are not limited to: Parkinson's disease, tauopathies (e.g. frontotemporoparietal dementia, corticobasal degeneration, Pick's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy) and other dementia including vascular dementia; acute stroke and other traumatic injuries; cerebrovascular accidents (e.g. age related macular degeneration); brain and spinal cord trauma; peripheral neuropathies; retinopathies and glaucoma.

GSK-3β may also have utility in the treatment of other diseases such as: non-insulin dependent diabetes and obesity; manic depressive illness; schizophrenia; alopecia; inflammation; cancers such as breast cancer, non-small cell lung carcinoma, thyroid cancer, T or B-cell leukemia and several virus-induced tumors.

Rho kinases (ROCKs), the first Rho effectors to be described, are serine/threonine kinases that are important in fundamental processes of cell migration, cell proliferation and cell survival. Abnormal activation of the Rho/ROCK pathway has been observed in various disorders. Examples of disease states in which compounds of the present invention have potentially beneficial therapeutic effects due to their anti vasospasm activity includes cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, chronic and congestive heart failure, cardiac hypertrophy, restenosis, chronic renal failure, cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid bleeding, pulmonary hypertension and atherosclerosis. The muscle relaxing property is also beneficial for treating asthma, male erectile dysfunctions, female sexual dysfunction, and over-active bladder syndrome. Injury to the adult vertebrate brain and spinal cord activates ROCKs, thereby inhibiting neurite growth and sprouting. Inhibition of ROCKs results in induction of new axonal growth, axonal rewiring across lesions within the CNS, accelerated regeneration and enhanced functional recovery after acute neuronal injury in mammals (spinal-cord injury, traumatic brain injury). Inhibition of the Rho/ROCK pathway has also proved to be efficacious in other animal models of neurodegeneration like stroke, inflammatory and demyelinating diseases, Alzheimer's disease as well as the treatment of pain. Rho/ROCK pathway inhibitors therefore have potential for preventing neurodegeneration and stimulating neuroregeneration in various neurological disorders, including spinal-cord injury, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, as well as the treatment of pain. ROCK inhibitors have been shown to possess anti-inflammatory properties. Thus, compounds of the invention can be used as treatment for neuroinflammatory diseases such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and inflammatory pain, as well as other inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, Lupus, and inflammatory bowel disease. Since ROCK inhibitors reduce cell proliferation and cell migration, they could be useful in treating cancer and tumor metastasis. Further more, there is evidence suggesting that ROCK inhibitors suppress cytoskeletal rearrangement upon virus invasion, thus they also have potential therapeutic value in anti-viral and anti-bacterial applications. ROCK inhibitors are also useful for the treatment of insulin resistance and diabetes. Further, ROCK inhibitors have been shown to ameliorate progression of cystic fibrosis (Abstract S02.3, 8th World Congress on Inflammation, Copenhagen, Denmark, Jun. 16-20, 2007).

In addition, Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinases (ROCK)-1 and -2, have been shown to enhance myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation by inhibiting MLC phosphatase as well as phosphorylating MLC. This results in the regulation of actin-myosin contraction. Recent reports have demonstrated that inhibition of ROCK results in disruption of inflammatory cell chemotaxis as well as inhibition of smooth muscle contraction in models of pulmonary inflammation associated with asthma. Therefore, the inhibitors of the Rho/ROCK pathway should be useful for the treatment of asthma.

The Janus kinases (JAKs) are an important family of intracellular protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), with 4 mammalian members, JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and TYK2, as well as homologs in chicken, fish, and Drosophila. The JAKs play critical roles in several important intracellular signaling pathways, including the eponymous JAK/STAT pathway, central to the mediation of cytokine signaling. It is this pivotal role in cytokine signaling that underpins the notion that specific JAK inhibitors may be therapeutically deployed in situations where cytokine activity results in disease. Important examples of this include autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, myeloproliferative syndromes such as, leukemias, lymphomas, and cardiovascular diseases.

JAK2, a member of the Janus kinase (JAK) family of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs), is an important intracellular mediator of cytokine signaling. Mutations of the JAK2 gene are associated with hematologic cancers, and aberrant JAK activity is also associated with a number of immune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis.

Aurora kinases are a family of multigene mitotic serine-threonine kinases that functions as a class of novel oncogenes. These kinases comprise aurora-A, aurora-B, and aurora-B members. These are hyperactivated and/or over-expressed in several solid tumors including but not limited to breast, ovary, prostate, pancreas, and colorectal cancers. In particular aurora-A is a centrosome kinase, and its localization depends on the cell cycle and plays an important role cell cycle progression and cell proliferation. Aurora-A is located in the 20q13 chromosome region that is frequently amplified in several different types of malignant tumors such as colorectal, breast and bladder cancers. Inhibition of aurora kinase activity could help to reduce cell proliferation, tumor growth and potentially tumorigenesis.

Eukaryotic cells divide by a directed, step-wise process referred to as the cell cycle. Cells must first replicate their DNA in S phase before separating their sister chromatids in mitosis (karyokinesis) and splitting off into two daughter cells (cytokinesis). In mammalian cells, DNA replication must be initiated at multiple sites (replication origins) throughout the genome to ensure that all the genetic material is duplicated prior to mitosis. To maintain genome integrity, DNA must be replicated only once per cell cycle, and so this process is highly regulated and governed by checkpoints. Before replication is initiated, origins must be licensed through the formation of pre-replication complexes (pre-RCs) in early G1. Formation of pre-RCs involves the step-wise binding of the origin recognition complex (ORC) to origins followed by the binding of the loading factors Cdc6 and Cdt1. These proteins then recruit the putative DNA replicative helicase complex, MCM2-7. Once this pre-RC is formed, replication initiation requires the activation of S-phase-promoting serine/threonine kinases, Cyclin/Cdks and Cdc7/Dbf4. These kinases consist of an enzymatic subunit (CDKs and Cdc7) and a regulatory sub-unit (Cyclins for CDKs; Dbf4 or Drf1 for Cdc7). They phosphorylate multiple MCMs in pre-RCs in a sequential manner, thereby activating the helicase and recruiting other DNA replication factors (Cdc45, GINS complex, etc.) for DNA synthesis (for reviews, see Kim, J. M., et al. (2003). Functions of mammalian Cdc7 kinase in initiation/monitoring of DNA replication and development. Mutat. Res. 532, 29-40; Kim, J. M., et al. (2004). Genetic dissection of mammalian Cdc7 kinase: cell cycle and developmental roles. Cell Cycle 3, 300-304; Lau, E., et al. (2006). The functional role of Cdc6 in S-G2/M in mammalian cells. EMBO Rep. 7, 425-430; Lau, E., et al. (2007). The role of pre-replicative complex (pre-RC) components in oncogenesis. Faseb J. 21, 3786-3794; Stillman, B. (2005). Origin recognition and the chromosome cycle. FEBS Lett. 579, 877-884). MCM2 Serine-40 and Serine-53 are well-characterized phosphorylation sites for Cdc7/Dbf4 (Cho et al., 2006; Montagnoli et al., 2006; Tsuji et al., 2006).

Inhibiting regulators of replication initiation, such as Cdc6, Cdc7/Dbf4 or Cdc7/Drf1, has lethal consequences in cancerous cells, whereas normal cells are able to arrest and resume normal divisions once initiation activity is restored (Feng, D., et al. (2003). Inhibiting the expression of DNA replication-initiation proteins induces apoptosis in human cancer cells. Cancer Res. 63, 7356-7364; Montagnoli, A., et al. (2004). Cdc7 inhibition reveals a p53-dependent replication checkpoint that is defective in cancer cells. Cancer Res 64, 7110-7116; see Lau, E., et al. (2006). Is there a pre-RC checkpoint that cancer cells lack? Cell Cycle 5, 1602-1606, for review). Small molecule inhibitors of the protein kinase Cdc7 are thus attractive candidates for therapeutic intervention in cancer, inflammation and other cell proliferative disorders.

Accordingly, there remains a need for the development of methods comprising the use of a single agent drug capable of targeting specific sets of kinases or kinase pathways. In particular such methods affect the right combination of multiple targets thereby achieving clinical efficacy.

Phospho-MCM2 ELISA

HCT-116 cells (20,000/well; 96-well format) were treated for 6 hours with increasing concentrations of compounds (0.01-10 μM in half-log increments). After removing the medium/inhibitor, the cells were frozen for 5 minutes and treated on ice with 20 μL of lysis buffer (Invitrogen #FNN0011) for 30 minutes. 80 μL of cold 2% BSA (in PBS) were then added to each well before transferring 80 μL to MCM2 antibody-coated plates (Bethyl # A300-122A, lot A300-122A-1). The plates were incubated overnight at 4° C., washed, and then incubated with the sandwich antibody (1:100 rabbit anti-human phospho-MCM2 Ser53; Bethyl #A300-756A, lot A300-756A-2) for 2 hours at room temperature. After another series of washes the samples are incubated for 1 hour with detection antibody (XSA-grade goat anti-rabbit-HRP, KPL #074-15-061, lot 50884, diluted to 2 μg/mL in 2% BSA). Plates were washed, developed using luminescence substrate (SuperSignal Pico for ELISA, Pierce #37069, Lot. HB101408), and read on a Molecular Devices M5 luminometer.

Methods—β-Catenin Reporter-Gene Assay

Compounds were tested for their ability to modulate β-catenin-modulated gene transcription in a LEF/TCF(T-cell factor) reporter gene assay. SY-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells were transiently transfected with 80 ng/well TOPFLASH plasmid (Upstate cell signaling solutions) containing two sets of three copies of the TCF binding site upstream of the Thymidine kinase minimal promoter and firefly Luciferase open reading frame or with 80 ng/well FOPFLASH plasmid (Upstate cell signaling solutions) containing three copies of a mutated TCF binding site upstream of the Thymidine kinase minimal promoter and firefly Luciferase open reading frame. In addition, all cells were transiently transfected with the 20 ng/well pRL-TK plasmid (Promega) containing the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase promoter to provide low to moderate levels of Renilla Luciferase expression. Transfection medium was exchanged for serum-free medium containing the test substance and incubated for 24 hours at 37° C. The incubation was stopped and quantified using the Dual Glo Luciferase Assay (Promega) as indicated and quantified on a Pherastar reader (BMG).

Firefly Luciferase activity was normalized for Renilla Luciferase activity per well. Subsequently, the normalised TOPFLASH response was compared to the normalised FOPFLASH response, thus giving the LEF/TCF specific signal. The maximal response is the maximal ratio between the normalised TOPFLASH and FOPFLASH signals. Sigmoidal dose-response curves were fitted using Graphpad Prism.

Murine Asthma Model of Acute Asthma

Female Balb/c mice were purchased from Taconic and housed at Abbott Bioresearch Center. Animals were utilized at 8-12 weeks of age. All protocols were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). Dexamethasone (Dex), and ovalbumin (OVA) were purchased from Sigma. Endotoxin was removed from ovalbumin using DetoxiGel (Pierce) according to manufacturer's protocol and the final material contained less than 0.1 EU/mg protein. Alum Imject was purchased from Pierce.

Animals were sensitized to OVA on day 0 and 7 with an i.p. injection of 8 μg OVA in 2 mg alum. On days 14 and 16, animals received intra-nasal challenge of 0.3 μg OVA in 50 μl sterile PBS. Animals were dosed i.p. with a representative compound of formula (I), Example 179, (dissolved with 0.5% HMPC, 0.02% Tween 80 in water) twice per day at doses of 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg/dose beginning the afternoon of day 13. The final dose of compound was administered 30 minutes prior to measurement of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Dexamethasone was administered orally once a day on days 13-17 at a dose of 3 mg/kg. All endpoints were analyzed on day 17, 24 hours after the second OVA challenge. AHR was assessed using unconscious restrained whole body plethysmography. Briefly, a surgical plane of anesthesia was induced with an i.p. injection of ketamine and xylazine. A tracheal canula was surgically inserted between the third and fourth tracheal rings. Spontaneous breathing was prevented by an intravenous (i.v.) jugular vein injection of pancuronium bromide. Animals were placed in a whole body plethysmograph (Buxco) and mechanically ventilated with 0.2 mL room air at 150 breaths per minute with a volume-controlled ventilator (Harvard Apparatus). Pressure in the lung and flow within the plethysmograph were measured using transducers, and lung resistance was calculated as pressure/flow using Biosystem Xa software. Baseline resistance as well as resistance following challenge with methacholine (3, 10 or 30 mg/mL) that was delivered with an inline ultrasonic-nebulizer were measured. Upon completion of pulmonary function testing, the lungs were lavaged 4 times with 0.5 mL sterile PBS. Lavage fluid was analyzed for IL-13, AMCase, Muc5ac and cellular infiltrates. The efficacy of the test compound was tested at doses of 3, 10 and 30 mg/kg b.i.d. (6, 20, 60 mg/kg/day). Challenge with OVA caused an increase in lung resistance to 6.90 cm H₂O/mL/sec vs. 4.65 cm H₂O/mL/sec in animals challenged with PBS. Treatment of mice with the test compound significantly inhibited (p<0.001) methacholine-induced airways resistance down to 4.55 cm H₂O/mL/sec and 4.77 cm H₂O/mL/sec at doses ranging between 1 and 100 mg/kg. The preferred compounds require a dose of less than 50 mg/kg to exhibit said response. The most preferred compounds require a dose of less than 30 mg/kg to exhibit said response. This inhibition was equivalent to measurements taken in the PBS challenged group (4.65 cm H₂O/mL/sec) and to treatment of 3 mg/kg dexamethasone (4.76 cm H₂O/mL/sec).

IL-13 measurement: IL-13 concentrations in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) were measured by ELISA (R & D Systems) according to manufacturer's instructions. IL-13 concentrations in the BAL fluid were significantly induced to 102.5 pg/mL in OVA challenged mice as compared to levels below detection in the PBS challenged group. This induction was significantly inhibited (p<0.05) by 60% after administration of a representative compound of formula (I), Example 179, at the 30 mg/kg dose. There was no significant inhibition at the 3 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg dose groups.

AMCase measurement: Acidic mammalian chitinase (AMCase) activity was determined in a 1:10 dilution of BAL fluid with 0.01% BSA, 30 mM sodium citrate, 60 mM sodium phosphate, pH 5.2 in the presence of 80 μM 4-methylumbelliferyl β-D-N,N′-diacetylchitobioside. Reactions were incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature and quenched by addition of 100 μL of 1 M glycine/NaOH pH 10.6. Product formation was determined by fluorescence emission at 460 nm using excitation at 385 nm on a Fluoroskan Ascent fluorometer. AMCase activity was induced to 28.5 U in OVA challenged animals compared to 2.17 U in the PBS challenged animals. This induction was significantly inhibited (p<0.01) in the 30 mg/kg group by 45% after a representative compound of formula (I), Example 179 was administered.

MUC5AC measurement: Concentrations of the mucin gene MUC5AC were quantitated by ELISA format. Briefly, BAL samples are diluted 1:2 in buffer (2% BSA in PBS) and plated onto high protein binding 96-well plates (Costar) and dried. After a series of washes, a 1:100 dilution of biotinylated MUC5AC antibody (Clone 45M, LabVision) was added for 1 hour. Plates are washed and a 1:3000 dilution of streptavidin-HRP (Southern Biotech) was added to the plate for 15 minutes. Plates were then developed using a TMB substrate (Sigma) for 30 minutes. The reaction was stopped using 1M H₂SO₄ and then read in a spectrophotometer at OD 450 nm. Levels of MUC5AC were reduced by 35% after administration of a representative compound of formula (I), Example 179 at 35 mg/kg.

Determination of Antinociceptive Effect: Models for Neuropathic Pain Spinal Nerve (L5/L6) Ligation Model of Neuropathic Pain. As previously described in detail by Kim and Chung (Kim S. H.; Chung J. M. An experimental model for peripheral neuropathy produced by segmental spinal nerve ligation in the rat. Pain 1992, 50, 355-363), a 1.5 cm incision was made dorsal to the lumbosacral plexus. In anesthetized rats, the paraspinal muscles (left side) were separated from the spinous processes, the L5 and L6 spinal nerves isolated, and tightly ligated with 3-0 silk threads. Following hemostasis, the wound was sutured and coated with antibiotic ointment. The rats were allowed to recover and then placed in a cage with soft bedding for 14 days before behavioral testing for mechanical allodynia.

Sciatic Nerve Ligation Model of Neuronathic Pain. As previously described in detail by Bennett and Xie (Bennett G. J.; Xie Y-K. A peripheral mononeuropathy in rat that produces disorders of pain sensation like those seen in man. Pain 1988, 33, 87-107), in anesthetized rats, a 1.5 cm incision was made 0.5 cm below the pelvis and the biceps femoris and the gluteous superficialis (right side) were separated. The sciatic nerve was exposed, isolated, and four loose ligatures (5-0 chromic catgut) with 1 mm spacing were placed around it. The rats were allowed to recover and then placed in a cage with soft bedding for 14 days before behavioral testing for mechanical allodynia as described above. In addition, animals were also tested for cold allodynia by dipping their hind paw in a cold-water bath (4.5° C.) and determining the paw withdrawal latency.

Selected analogs of compounds of formula (I), Examples 160 and 179, dosed either i.p. or p.o. demonstrated greater than 30% inhibition of tactile allodynia in the Chung and Bennett models of neuropathic pain described herein at doses ranging from 1-150 mg/kg.

In summary, a representative compound of formula (I) in a mouse model of acute asthma was effective in inhibiting airway resistance in a dose range between 1 and 100 mg/kg. High dose (30 mg/kg) treatment also inhibited IL-13 induction as well as AMCase activity and MUC5AC levels in the BAL fluid.

Representative compounds of formula (I) in rat models of neuropathic pain were effective as demonstrated by a greater than 30% inhibition of tactile allodynia at doses ranging from 1-150 mg/kg.

The compounds of formula (I) were found to inhibit human ROCK-2, N-terminal His-tagged GSK-30, human GSK-30, His6-tagged, recombinant, human JAK2 and Firefly Luciferase exhibiting an IC₅₀ of less than 10 nM to about 10 μM, preferably less than 10 nM to about 1.0 μM. More preferably, compounds of formula (I) were found to inhibit human ROCK-2, N-terminal His-tagged GSK-3β, human GSK-3β, His6-tagged, recombinant, human JAK2 and Firefly Luciferase exhibiting an IC₅₀ of less than 10 nM to about 100 nM, and most preferably less than 10 nM.

In addition, certain compounds of formula (I) exhibited inhibition of human ROCK-2 with a selectivity of greater than 10 fold against a panel of 50 kinase targets. Certain compounds of formula (I) exhibited inhibition of human GSK-3β with a selectivity of greater than 10 fold against a panel of 50 kinase targets. Certain compounds of formula (I) exhibited inhibition of His6-tagged, recombinant, human JAK2 with a selectivity of greater than 10 fold against a panel of 50 kinase targets.

Certain compounds of formula (I) were also found to inhibit Cdc7 exhibiting a Ki of about 0.1 nM to about 10 μM. More preferably, compounds of formula (I) were found to inhibit Cdc7 exhibiting a Ki of about 0.1 nM to 100 nM, and most preferably less than 10 nM. Compounds found to inhibit Cdc7 preferably have an EC₅₀ less than 5 μM in both the AlamarBlue cell viability assay and Phospho-MCM2 ELISA assay and more preferably less than 1 μM.

Methods of Administration

The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions that comprise compounds of the present invention. The pharmaceutical compositions comprise compounds of the present invention formulated together with one or more non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers.

The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be administered to humans and other mammals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intravaginally, topically (as by powders, ointments or drops), bucally or as an oral or nasal spray. The term “parenterally,” as used herein, refers to modes of administration that include intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrasternal, subcutaneous and intraarticular injection and infusion.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier,” as used herein, means a non-toxic, inert solid, semi-solid or liquid filler, diluent, encapsulating material or formulation auxiliary of any type. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are sugars such as, but not limited to, lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches such as, but not limited to, corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives such as, but not limited to, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients such as, but not limited to, cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils such as, but not limited to, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil and soybean oil; glycols; such as propylene glycol; esters such as, but not limited to, ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffering agents such as, but not limited to, magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol, and phosphate buffer solutions, as well as other non-toxic compatible lubricants such as, but not limited to, sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants can also be present in the composition, according to the judgment of the formulator.

Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention for parenteral injection comprise pharmaceutically acceptable sterile aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions as well as sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use. Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and the like), vegetable oils (such as olive oil), injectable organic esters (such as ethyl oleate) and suitable mixtures thereof. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions and by the use of surfactants.

These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifying agents and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms can be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, paraben, chlorobutanol, phenol sorbic acid and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents such as sugars, sodium chloride and the like. Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form can be brought about by the inclusion of agents, which delay absorption such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin.

In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of the drug, it is desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This can be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution that, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.

Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of drug to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions, which are compatible with body tissues.

The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium just prior to use.

Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound may be mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient, such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol and silicic acid; b) binders such as carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose and acacia; c) humectants such as glycerol; d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates and sodium carbonate; e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin; f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds; g) wetting agents such as cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.

Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such carriers as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.

The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well-known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and may also be of a composition such that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.

The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form, if appropriate, with one or more of the above-mentioned carriers.

Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethyl formamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions may also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents.

Suspensions, in addition to the active compounds, may contain suspending agents as, for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar, tragacanth and mixtures thereof.

Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating carriers or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at room temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.

Compounds of the present invention can also be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or multi-lamellar hydrated liquid crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic, physiologically acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used. The present compositions in liposome form can contain, in addition to a compound of the present invention, stabilizers, preservatives, excipients and the like. The preferred lipids are natural and synthetic phospholipids and phosphatidyl cholines (lecithins) used separately or together.

Methods to form liposomes are known in the art. See, for example, Prescott, Ed., Methods in Cell Biology, Volume XIV, Academic Press, New York, N.Y. (1976), p. 33 et seq.

Dosage forms for topical administration of a compound of this invention include powders, sprays, ointments and inhalants. The active compound may be mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives, buffers or propellants, which may be required. Ophthalmic formulations, eye ointments, powders and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention.

Actual dosage levels of active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active compound(s) that is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, compositions and mode of administration. The selected dosage level will depend upon the activity of the particular compound, the route of administration, the severity of the condition being treated and the condition and prior medical history of the patient being treated.

When used in the above or other treatments, a therapeutically effective amount of one of the compounds of the present invention can be employed in pure form or, where such forms exist, in pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester or prodrug form. The phrase “therapeutically effective amount” of the compound of the invention means a sufficient amount of the compound to treat disorders, at a reasonable benefit/risk ratio applicable to any medical treatment. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the present invention will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific therapeutically effective dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed; and like factors well known in the medical arts.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt,” as used herein, means salts derived from inorganic or organic acids. The salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of compounds of Formula (I) or separately by reacting the free base of a compound of Formula (I) with an inorganic or organic acid. Representative acid addition salts include, but are not limited to, acetate, adipate, alginate, citrate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate, bisulfate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, digluconate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, fumarate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxyethansulfonate (isethionate), lactate, maleate, fumarate, methanesulfonate, nicotinate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, oxalate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, succinate, sulfate, (L) tartrate, (D) tartrate, (DL) tartrate, thiocyanate, phosphate, glutamate, bicarbonate, p-toluenesulfonate, and undecanoate.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug” or “prodrug,” as used herein, represents those prodrugs of the compounds of the present invention which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like. Prodrugs of the present invention may be rapidly transformed in vivo to compounds of Formula (I), for example, by hydrolysis in blood.

The present invention contemplates compounds of Formula (I) formed by synthetic means or formed by in vivo biotransformation.

The compounds of the invention can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms, such as hemi-hydrates. In general, the solvated forms, with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water and ethanol among others, are equivalent to the unsolvated forms for the purposes of the invention.

The total daily dose of the compounds of this invention administered to a human or lower animal may range from about 0.003 to about 30 mg/kg/day. For purposes of oral administration, more preferable doses can be in the range of from about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg/day. If desired, the effective daily dose can be divided into multiple doses for purposes of administration; consequently, single dose compositions may contain such amounts or submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose.

Methods of Use

Protein kinases can be classified into broad groups based upon the identity of the amino acid(s) that they target (serine/threonine, tyrosine, lysine, and histidine). For example, tyrosine kinases include receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), such as growth factors and non-receptor tyrosine kinases, such as the src kinase family. There are also dual-specific protein kinases that target both tyrosine and serine/threonine, such as cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs).

The protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) compose a large family of kinases that regulate cell to cell signals involved in growth, differentiation, adhesion, motility, and death (Pearson, M. et al., In Protein Tyrosine Kinases; Fabbro, D., McCormick, F., Eds.; Humana Press Inc., 2006; pp 1-29.). Members of the tyrosine kinase include, but are not limited to, Yes, BMX, Syk, EphA1, FGFR3, RYK, MUSK, JAK1 and EGFR. Tyrosine kinases are distinguished into two classes, i.e., the receptor type and non-receptor type tyrosine kinases. Interestingly, the entire family of tyrosine kinases consists of at least 90 characterized kinases with at least 58 receptor type and at least 32 nonreceptor type kinases comprising at least 30 total subfamilies. Tyrosine kinases have been implicated in a number of diseases in humans, including diabetes and cancer (Pearson, M. et al., In Protein Tyrosine Kinases; Fabbro, D., McCormick, F., Eds.; Humana Press Inc., 2006; pp 1-29.). Tyrosine kinases are often involved in most forms of human malignancies and have been linked to a wide variety of congenital syndromes (Robertson et al., Trends Genet. 16:265-271, 2000).

The non-receptor tyrosine kinases represent a group of intracellular enzymes that lack extracellular and transmembrane sequences. Currently, over 32 families of non-receptor tyrosine kinases have been identified (Robinson et al., Oncogene 19, 5548-5557, 2000). Representative examples include Src, Btk, Csk, ZAP70 and Kak families. In particular, the Src family of non-receptor tyrosine kinase family is the largest, consisting of Src, Yes, Fyn, Lyn, Lck, Blk, Hck, Fgr and Yrk protein tyrosine kinases. The Src family of kinases have been linked to oncogenesis, cell proliferation and tumor progression. Many of the protein tyrosine kinases have been found to be involved in cellular signaling pathways involved in various pathological conditions including but not limited to cancer and hyperproliferative disorders and immune disorders.

The cyclin dependent kinases CDKs represent a group of intracellular enzymes that control progression through the cell cycle and have essential roles in cell proliferation (Cohen, P. Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 1, 309-315, 2002). Representative examples of CDKs include, but are not limited to, cyclin dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), cyclin dependent kinase 7 (CDK7), cyclin dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) and cell division control 2 protein (CDC2). CDKs have been implicated in the regulation of transitions between different phases of the cell cycle, such as the progression from a quiescent stage in G1 (the gap between mitosis and the onset of DNA replication for a new round of cell division) to S (the period of active DNA synthesis), or the progression from G2 to M phase, in which active mitosis and cell division occur (Rowell et al. Critical Reviews in Immunology 26(3), 189-212, 2006). CDK complexes are formed through association of a regulatory cyclin subunit (e.g., cyclin A, B1, B2, D1, D2, D3, and E) and a catalytic kinase subunit (e.g., cdc2 (CDK1), CDK2, CDK4, CDK5, and CDK6). CDKs display an absolute dependence on the cyclin subunit in order to phosphorylate their target substrates, and different kinase/cyclin pairs function to regulate progression through specific portions of the cell cycle. Furthermore, CDKs have been implicated in various disease states, including but not limited to, those displaying the cancer phenotype, various neoplastic disorders and in neurological disorders (Pallas et al. Current Medicinal Chemistry: Central Nervous System Agents 5(2), 101-109, 2005).

The mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinases participate in the transduction of signals to the nucleus of the cell in response to extracellular stimuli. Representative examples of MAP kinases include, but are not limited to, mitogen activated protein kinase 3 (MAPK3), mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (ERK2), mitogen-activated protein kinase 7 (MAPK7), mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 (JNK1), mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 (p38 alpha), mitogen-activated protein kinase 10 (MAPK 10), JNK3 alpha protein kinase, stress-activated protein kinase JNK2 and mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 (MAPK14). MAP kinases are a family of proline-directed serine/threonine kinases that mediate signal transduction from extracellular receptors or heath shock, or UV radiation (Barr et al., Trends in Pharmacological Sciences 27(10), 525-530, 2006). MAP kinases activate through the phosphorylation of threonine and tyrosine by dual-specificity protein kinases, including tyrosine kinases such as growth factors. Cell proliferation and differentiation have been shown to be under the regulatory control of multiple MAP kinase cascades (Sridhar et al., Pharmaceutical Research, 17:11 1345-1353, 2000). As such, the MAP kinase pathway plays critical roles in a number of disease states, for example, defects in activities of MAP kinases have been shown to lead to aberrant cell proliferation and carcinogenesis (Qi et al., Journal of Cell Science 118(16), 3569-3572, 2005). Moreover, MAP kinase activity has also been implicated in insulin resistance associated with type-2 diabetes (Fujishiro et al. Recent Research Developments in Physiology 1(Pt. 2), 801-812, 2003).

The p90 ribosomal S6 kinases (Rsk) are serine/threonine kinases which function in mitogen-activated cell growth and proliferation, differentiation, and cell survival. Examples of members of the Rsk family of kinases include, but are not limited to, ribosomal protein S6 kinase, 90 kDa, polypeptide 2 (Rsk3), ribosomal protein S6 kinase, 90 kDa, polypeptide 6 (Rsk4), ribosomal protein S6 kinase, 90 kDa, polypeptide 3 (Rsk2) and ribosomal protein S6 kinase, 90 kDa, polypeptide 1 (Rsk1/p90Rsk). The Rsk family members are activated by extracellular signal-related kinases and phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (Frodin and Gammeltoft, Mol. Cell. Endocrinol. 151, 65-77, 1999). Under basal conditions, RSK kinases are localized in the cytoplasm of cells and upon stimulation by mitogens, the activated (phosphorylated by extracellular-related kinase) RSK transiently translocates to the plasma membrane where they become fully activated. The fully activated RSK phosphorylates substrates that are involved in cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, and cell survival (Clark et al. Cancer Research 65, 3108-3116, 2005). RSK signaling pathways have also been associated with the modulation of the cell cycle (Gross et al., J. Biol. Chem. 276, 46099-46103, 2001). Current data suggests that small molecules that inhibit Rsk may be useful therapeutic agents for the prevention and treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases.

Members of the checkpoint protein kinase family (CHK) are serine/threonine kinases that play an important role in cell cycle progression. Examples of members of the checkpoint family include, but are not limited to, CHK1 and CHK2. Checkpoints kinases are control systems that coordinate cell cycle progression by influencing the formation, activation and subsequent inactivation of the cyclin-dependent kinases. Checkpoints kinases prevent cell cycle progression at inappropriate times, maintain the metabolic balance of cells while the cell is arrested, and in some instances can induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) when the requirements of the checkpoint have not been met (Nurse, Cell, 91, 865-867, 1997; Hartwell et al., Science, 266, 1821-1828, 1994). Members of the checkpoint family of kinases have been implicated in cell proliferative disorders, cancer phenotypes and other diseases related to DNA damage and repair (Kumagai and Dunphy Cell Cycle, 5, 1265-1268 (2006); Xiao et al., Molecular Cancer Therapeutics 5, 1935-1943, 2006).

Aurora kinases are a family of multigene mitotic serine-threonine kinases that functions as a class of novel oncogenes. These kinases comprise aurora-A and aurora-B members. Aurora kinases are hyperactivated and/or over-expressed in several solid tumors including but not limited to, breast, ovary, prostate, pancreas, and colorectal cancers. In particular aurora-A is a centrosome kinase that plays an important role cell cycle progression and cell proliferation. Aurora-A is located in the 20q13 chromosome region that is frequently amplified in several different types of malignant tumors such as colorectal, breast and bladder cancers. There is also a high correlation between aurora-A and high histo-prognostic grade aneuploidy, making the kinase a potential prognostic vehicle. Inhibition of aurora kinase activity may reduce cell proliferation, tumor growth and potentially tumorigenesis. A detailed description of aurora kinase function is reviewed in Journal of Cell Science, 119, 3664-3675, 2006.

The Rho-associated coiled-coil-containing protein serine/threonine kinases ROCK-1 and ROCK-2 are thought to play a major role in cytoskeletal dynamics by serving as downstream effectors of the Rho/Rac family of cytokine- and growth factor-activated small GTPases. ROCKs phosphorylate various substrates, including, but not limited to, myosin light chain phosphatase, myosin light chain, ezrin-radixin-moesin proteins and LIM (for Linl1, Jsl1 and Mec3) kinases. ROCKs also mediate the formation of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions in various cell types. ROCKs have an important role in cell migration by enhancing cell contractility and are required for tail retraction of monocytes and cancer cells. ROCK inhibitors have also been shown to reduce tumor-cell dissemination in vivo. Recent experiments have defined new functions of ROCKs in cells, including centrosome positioning and cell-size regulation, which might contribute to various physiological and pathological states (Mueller et al, Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 4, 387-398, 2005). The ROCK family members are attractive intervention targets for a variety of pathologies including cancer and cardiovascular disease. ROCK inhibitors can be useful therapeutic agents for hypertension, angina pectoris, and asthma. Furthermore, Rho is expected to play a role in peripheral circulation disorders, arteriosclerosis, inflammation, and autoimmune disease and as such, is a useful target for therapy (Shimokawa et al, Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 25, 1767-1775, 2005).

The limited success of pharmacotherapeutic approaches in spinal-cord injury is based to a large extent on the inability of injured nerve fibers in the white matter of the human spinal cord to regrow and re-establish synaptic contacts with their disconnected partner neurons. A hostile micro-environment, characterized by the presence of a large variety of molecular neurite-growth inhibitors at the lesion site, in the scar tissue and on CNS myelin, accounts for this irreversible arrest of neurite-growth. In tissue culture, these inhibitors of neurite growth often induce very dramatic responses, including the collapse of the formation and withdrawal of the neurite. Scar tissue in the human brain and spinal cord is a strong and persistent barrier for any regenerative neurite growth and ROCK inhibitors might help injured fibers to grow or sprout beyond this regeneration-inhibiting tissue. A variety of evidence indicates that injury to brain and spinal cord results in a strongly activated RhoA-ROCK pathway. Due to the persistent presence of the neurite growth inhibitors at or around the lesion site and in CNS myelin, such activation could potentially persist for a long time, making ROCK inhibition an attractive goal not only for acute and sub-acute treatment, but also for chronic treatment of spinal-cord injury. Inhibition of ROCK by two different small-molecule ROCK inhibitors (Y-27632 and fasudil) stimulated or accelerated functional recovery in different mouse and rat spinal-cord-injury models when given locally or systemically immediately after injury as a single dose or over several weeks (Dergham, P. et al. Rho signaling pathway targeted to promote spinal cord repair. J. Neurosci. 22, 6570-6577, 2002; Hara, M. et al. Protein kinase inhibition by fasudil hydrochloride promotes neurological recovery after spinal cord injury in rats. J. Neurosurg. Spine 93, 94-101, 2000.; Fournier, A. E. et al. ROCK inhibition enhances axonal regeneration in the injured CNS. J. Neurosci. 23, 1416-1423, 2003; Sung, J. K. et al. A possible role of RhoA/Rho-kinase in experimental spinal cord injury in rat Brain Res. 959, 29-38, 2003; Tanaka, H. et al. Cytoplasmic p21(Cip1/WAF1) enhances axonal regeneration and functional recovery after spinal cord injury in rats. Neuroscience 127, 155-164, 2004). In these studies, ROCK inhibition not only enhanced nerve-fiber growth beyond the lesion site, but was also neuroprotective and decreased tissue damage and cavity formation. On the basis of these rodent studies, ROCK inhibitors, which possess neuroprotective and neuroregeneration-stimulating activities, could offer significant benefit for spinally injured patients. In addition, they could normalize spinal blood flow due to their vasodilatory effects, thereby further enhancing tissue preservation.

Pathologically, Alzheimer's disease is characterized at the microscopic level by intracellular neurofibrillary tangles and extracellular amyloid aggregates. Neurofibrillary tangles contain aberrantly phosphorylated tau protein, a microtubule-associated protein and substrate for ROCK, whereas the amyloid aggregates are formed primarily by toxic 42-amino-acid long amyloid-β(Aβ) peptides. It was recently shown (Zhou, Y. et al. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can lower amyloidogenic Aβ42 by inhibiting Rho. Science 302, 1215-1217, 2003) that in cells secreting Aβ42 and in transgenic PDAPP MICE producing large amounts of Aβ42, some NSAIDs lowered Aβ42 by inhibiting the RhoA-ROCK pathway. The ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 was effective in lowering Aβ42 levels both in cell culture and in PDAPP transgenic mice after intra-cerebroventricular injection. Activation of Rho by geranylgeranylpyrophosphate, a lipid required for the membrane attachment of Rho, increased Aβ42 levels; this increase was completely prevented by Y-27632. The ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 used in animal Alzheimer's disease models was efficient in lowering the amount of the toxic Aβ42 levels, but had no effect on total Aβ levels and this effect of Rho or ROCK inhibitors is at least one mechanism by which NSAIDs reduce Aβ42 levels. In addition to many other therapeutic interventions, these inhibitors have the well-documented advantage of stimulating regenerative growth of neuritis and it is therefore possible that the inhibition of this pathway could result in repair of the amyloid-damaged neural circuitry.

Most important in disease pathogenesis is the migration of leukocytes beyond the brain endothelium into the CNS and the inflammatory cascade stimulated by these cells, which finally results in demyelination of CNS fiber tracts and in neurite damage and loss. Leukocytes require active RhoA and ROCK for their journey beyond brain endothelium, because their trans-endothelial migration was prevented by the ROCK inhibitor Y-2763294.

Neuroprotective activities of the ROCK inhibitors fasudil and hydroxy-fasudil are not restricted to spinal-cord injury models, but have also been reported in cerebral multi-infarct models in gerbils and rats (Toshima Y, Satoh S, Ikegaki I, Asano T. A new model of cerebral microthrombosis in rats and the neuroprotective effect of a Rho-kinase inhibitor. Stroke 31, 2245-2250, 2000; Satoh, S. et al. Pharmacological profile of hydroxy fasudil as a selective ROCK inhibitor on ischemic brain damage. Life Sci. 69, 1441-1453, 2001; Kitaoka, Y. et al. Involvement of RhoA and possible neuroprotective effect of fasudil, a ROCK inhibitor, in NMDA-induced neurotoxicity in the rat retina. Brain Res. 1018, 111-118, 2004). In rodent stroke models, several regeneration inhibitors, such as the ROCK-activating NgR1 complex and one of its ligands, NOGO-A, have been neutralized 24 hours or even 1 week after induction of a cerebral stroke and improved functional recovery has been observed (Lee, J. K., Kim, J. E., Sivula, M. & Strittmatter, S. M. Nogo receptor antagonism promotes stroke recovery by enhancing axonal plasticity. J. Neurosci. 24, 6209-6217, 2004; Wiessner, C. et al. Anti-Nogo-A antibody infusion 24 hours after experimental stroke improved behavioral outcome and corticospinal plasticity in normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats. J. Cereb. Blood FlowMetab. 23, 154-165, 2003). Blocking ROCK is therefore a feasible neuroregenerative strategy; furthermore, such a strategy has the advantage that the therapeutic treatment window for the use of these inhibitors might be larger than for thrombolytic or neuroprotective stroke treatment options.

Neuronal injuries in the peripheral nervous system or in the CNS of humans can lead to a chronic pain state known as neuropathic pain. Inflammatory mediators such as lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) which is produced in response to injury has recently been shown to be involved in initiation of neuropathic pain in a mouse model of peripheral nerve injury (Inoue, M. et al. Initiation of neuropathic pain requires lysophosphatidic acid receptor signaling. Nature Med. 10, 712-718, 2004). LPA is present at lesion sites in the PNS and CNS, and exerts its function by binding to G-protein-coupled LPA receptors which results in activation of the RhoA-ROCK pathway. The ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 prevented the initiation of neuropathic pain after nerve injury or LPA injection, whereas another ROCK inhibitor, H-1152, relieved neuropathic pain in an L5 spinal-nerve-transection model (Tatsumi, S. et al. Involvement of Rho-kinase in inflammatory and neuropathic pain through phosphorylation of myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS). Neuroscience 131, 491-498, 2005). The results of these studies indicate that ROCK is a potential drug target responsible for the induction and also maintenance of persistent pain states.

Moreover, Schueller et al. (Abstract 1216, 8th World Congress on Inflammation, Copenhagen, Denmark, Jun. 16-20, 2007) have demonstrated that SLx-2119, an orally bioavailable, potent and highly selective inhibitor of ROCK 2 reduces atherogenesis in the presence of dramatically elevated lipid levels in groups of 8 ApoE knockout mice, indicating that selective inhibition of ROCK 2 has the potential to limit atherosclerosis.

The 70 kDa ribosomal S6 kinase (p70S6K) is activated by numerous mitogens, growth factors and hormones. Activation of p70S6K occurs through phosphorylation at a number of sites and the primary target of the activated kinase is the 40S ribosomal protein S6, a major component of the machinery involved in protein synthesis in mammalian cells. In addition, p70S6K activation has been implicated in cell cycle control, neuronal cell differentiation, regulation of cell motility and a cellular response that is important in tumor metastases, immunity and tissue repair. Modulation of p70S6 kinase activity may also have therapeutic implications in disorders such as cancer, inflammation, and various neuropathies. A detailed discussion of p70S6K kinases can be found in Prog. Cell Cycle Res., 1, 21-32, 1995, and Immunol Cell Biol. 78, 447-51, 2000.

Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) is a ubiquitously expressed constitutively active serine/threonine kinase that phosphorylates cellular substrates and thereby regulates a wide variety of cellular functions, including development, metabolism, gene transcription, protein translation, cytoskeletal organization, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis. GSK-3 was initially described as a key enzyme involved in glycogen metabolism, but is now known to regulate a diverse array of cell functions. Two forms of the enzyme, GSK-3+ƒ and GSK-3+ƒ, have been previously identified. The activity of GSK-3+ƒ is negatively regulated by protein kinase B/Akt and by the Wnt signaling pathway. Small molecules inhibitors of GSK-3 may, therefore, have several therapeutic uses, including the treatment and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases and stimulation of neurogeneration in various neurological disorders (Gartner et al. J. Cell Science, 2006, 119, 3927-3934. Zhou et al. Neuron, 2004, 42, 897-912), type II diabetes, bipolar disorders, stroke, cancer, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis (Cuzzocrea et al. Clinical Immunology, 2006, 120, 57-67) and chronic inflammatory disease. General review: Kockeritz et al., Current Drug Targets, 7, 1377-1388, 2006. Review of neurological applications: Current Drug Targets, 7(11), 1389-1397 and 1399-1409, 2006.

Protein kinases have become attractive targets for the treatment of cancers (Fabbro et al., Pharmacology & Therapeutics 93:79-98, 2002). It has been proposed that the involvement of protein kinases in the development of human malignancies may occur by: (1) genomic rearrangements (e.g., BCR-ABL in chronic myelogenous leukemia), (2) mutations leading to constitutively active kinase activity, such as acute myelogenous leukemia and gastrointestinal tumors, (3) deregulation of kinase activity by activation of oncogenes or loss of tumor suppressor functions, such as in cancers with oncogenic RAS, (4) deregulation of kinase activity by over-expression, as in the case of EGFR and (5) ectopic expression of growth factors that can contribute to the development and maintenance of the neoplastic phenotype (Fabbro et al., Pharmacology & Therapeutics 93:79-98, 2002).

Cdc7 is a serine/threonine kinase that functions in the initiation of DNA replication. Cdc7 is found in complexes with either Dbf4 or Drf1, regulatory subunits that are essential for activating the enzyme and targeting it to substrates. Cdc7 phosphorylates multiple subunits of the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) DNA replicative helicase, thereby activating it and triggering the unwinding of DNA double helixes at origins of replication. This activity is essential to the proper initiation of DNA replication, the process by which a cell's DNA is duplicated prior to cell division. Inhibiting regulators of replication initiation, such as Cdc6, Cdc7/Dbf4 or Cdc7/Drf1, has lethal consequences in cancerous cells, whereas normal cells are able to arrest and resume normal divisions once initiation activity is restored (Feng, D., et al. (2003). Inhibiting the expression of DNA replication-initiation proteins induces apoptosis in human cancer cells. Cancer Res. 63, 7356-7364; Montagnoli, A., et al. (2004). Cdc7 inhibition reveals a p53-dependent replication checkpoint that is defective in cancer cells. Cancer Res 64, 7110-7116; see Lau, E., et al. (2006). Is there a pre-RC checkpoint that cancer cells lack? Cell Cycle 5, 1602-1606, for review). Thus, small molecules that inhibit Cdc7 may be useful therapeutic agents for the prevention and/or treatment of cancer, inflammatory diseases, and other cell proliferative disorders.

Certain cancers are associated with angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is the growth of new capillary blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature (Risau, W., Nature 386:671-674, 1997). It has been shown that protein kinases can contribute to the development and maintenance of the neoplastic phenotype (Fabbro et al., Pharmacology & Therapeutics 93:79-98, 2002). For example, VEGF A-D and their four receptors have been implicated in phenotypes that involve neovascualrization and enhanced vascular permeability, such as tumor angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis (Matter, A., Drug Discov. Today 6:1005-1023, 2001).

It has been recognized that a single agent approach that specifically targets one kinase or one kinase pathway may be inadequate to treat diseases and disorders, in particular cancer, for several reasons. Models have suggested that 5 to 7 mutations are necessary for the progression of a normal cell to a malignant one. Furthermore, it is widely recognized that cancer is the result of alterations in multiple pathways, in particular protein kinase pathways that are associated with processes such as cell growth, proliferation, apoptosis, motility, or invasion. In a majority of cancers, a common feature is the simultaneous overexpression and/or hyper-activation of a variety of protein kinases, such as receptor and non-receptor kinases, serine/threonine kinases, PI3 kinases and cell cycle associated kinases. In fact, several of these kinases, either alone or in conjunction with other kinases, have been implicated in a number of processes important for cell survival, proliferation, growth and malignant transformation, motility and invasion leading to metastasis and angiogenesis or inflammation, and diseases, disorders, and conditions associated therewith.

Accordingly, blocking one target kinase may not be clinically sufficient because there are multiple target kinases that affect the progression of a condition, disease, or disorder. In addition, blocking one target kinase may not be clinically sufficient because redundant kinase-mediated pathways and alternative oncogenic or inflammatory mechanisms may compensate for the blocked target kinase. Moreover, the use of a single agent can also increase the chances that resistance to that agent will develop.

Cardiovascular disease accounts for nearly one quarter of total annual deaths worldwide. Vascular disorders such as atherosclerosis and restenosis result from dysregulated growth of the vessel walls and the restriction of blood flow to vital organs. Various kinase pathways, e.g. JNK, are activated by atherogenic stimuli and regulated through local cytokine and growth factor production in vascular cells (Yang et al., Immunity 9:575, 1998). Ischemia and ischemia coupled with reperfusion in the heart, kidney or brain result in cell death and scar formation, which can ultimately lead to congestive heart failure, renal failure or cerebral dysfunction. In organ transplantation, reperfusion of previously ischemic donor organs results in acute leukocyte-mediated tissue injury and delay of graft function. Ischemia and reperfusion pathways are mediated by various kinases. For example, the JNK pathway has been linked to leukocyte-mediated tissue damage (Li et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 16:5947-5954, 1996). Finally, enhanced apoptosis in cardiac tissues has also been linked to kinase activity (Pombo et al., J. Biol. Chem. 269:26546-26551, 1994).
